I noticed that there are some new options in Qt Creator since 4.1 (maybe 4.0?) 
concerning deployment.



*         There's a setting "Always deploy project before running it" in the 
Build & Run settings

*         There's an option "Run Without Deployment" in the Build menu



However, I didn't find an in-depth documentation/explanation for these options.



Now, I understand what they do on Linux, and how they work for Device 
Creation/Android/Mobile apps. But what exactly is their purpose on Windows 
desktop? Do they run windeployqt by default, or do they call [mingw32-,n]make 
install after building? Or are they doing nothing by default?



In the past, we used a deploy.pro file which was included in release builds 
only. In this file, we had several INSTALLS directives for the files we want to 
deploy, and a call to windeployqt.exe for Qt library deployment.

We then needed to manually add an additional deploy step to call make install 
in the project's Run settings.



Is this still the preferred way? What has changed with the integration of the 
new deployment options? Is there a way to configure them on a per-project basis?



Thanks for your help,

Julius
